SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated Reviews
A perfect example of nostalgia glasses. In short, this may be a hidden gem, but it is completely representative of its time. 2D Platformers have long moved on, and this deserved some overhaul to the core gameplay, instead of just a graphical improvement and a tacked-on multiplayer experience. The soundtrack is a perfect encapsulation of the game as a whole. Utterly charming for the first few moments, but then each track repeats again. And again. And again. One note. Those who enjoyed the first may find themselves questioning why they did, should they dive into the murky waters here.
SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is a fun, colorful, and funny remake of the beloved classic that brings together everything fans love about the show.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated is a fun platformer that nonetheless shows its age a bit even in this remade form. Despite the modern updates, the core gameplay is still straight from 2003. But if you'll keep your expectations in check, there is plenty of fun to be had here.

Although the game is short for the fun you’ll have while playing it, it’s worth every penny. I loved the different levels and environments of the game. Even with some things I would personally change. It doesn’t take away the fact that this is a whole heartingly good game. With the cute humor and cute graphics you can play this yourself or your kids could play it too. Because if this game teaches you anything, It’s patience and well... don’t create killer robots to steal a secret formula. All jokes aside this game will always be on my shelf. I enjoyed it and I could see myself picking up this game again, sitting back, and just enjoying my time playing.
Hones in on my nostalgia goggles while never quite satiating me like the original.
Spongebob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Botton – Rehydrated is a decent remake of a great collectathon with a fair price that could be a good choice for children, SpongeBob fans, and just people who want to play something casual for a few hours

SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is an experience that respects the passion of the fandom.
Normally, licensed video games have a hard time being good, however, Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom hit it out of the park and the game gained a following for being so good. So when Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated was announced, you can understand the excitement that fans of that title must have felt. For me, someone who loves the original, my expectations and hype were sky-rocketed, and I couldn’t wait to play this title. Now that I have played it, did the game hit those expectations? The simple answer is… No. No, it didn’t. Keep reading to find out why.
Perfectly serviceable, yet equally devoid of justification to have been remade, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated does little to captivate on the amazing opportunity it's been given and evolve with the times.
Despite the renewed presentation, SpongeBob Squarepants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated drops the ball...
This remake of good old yet still flawed Spongebob game is a big disappointment. Not only it doesn't improve on any of the issues from the original game but it also adds new ones such as bugs and boring multiplayer. The title suffers from an obsolete game design that developers failed to address. On the other hand, the graphics are nice and the characters are just as enjoyable as they were in the original.

...if you’re looking for a solid game to scratch that 3D platformer itch, SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated could be it–as long as you consider yourself a patient person that can get over excruciatingly bad load times, otherwise I’d consider waiting for it to drop further in price.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is a quality remaster. It takes a good game, gives it a fresh coat of paint and allows both old and newcomers alike to see what made it an engaging experience in the first place.
Brand-based games are often an empty cash grab. In contrast, BFBB feels like it was written by developers who genuinely care about Spongebob as a franchise.
As far as remasters go, this one is an incredible jump over the original game in terms of visuals, however, it comes with its baggage on the virtue of being an old game that suffers from outdated design.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated does what it sets out to do. It's a loyal remake of an unremarkable PS2-era title.
Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is expertly redesigned, thoroughly enjoyable, stylish platformer that fans of the show are going to go wild over. Spongebob is the perfect pick-me-up to lift your spirits and remind you just how fulfilling, wholesome, and most of all, entertaining the platform genre can truly be.
SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated is as joyful as its source material. It'll appeal to fans of the cartoon more so than those seeking a challenging 3D platforming adventure, but it's a fun, nostalgic romp either way. Just don't expect much from the new multiplayer component.
The classic experience knocks our doors again with a very welcoming modern paint but sadly still suffers from some hiccups that might hinder the enjoyment for the players, especially the returning ones.
